Arsenal crock Oxlade-Chamberlain out until New Year

The Arsenal winger could be out until well into the New Year as the knee injury he suffered in his clubâ€™s defeat by Aston Villa on the opening day of the season is taking longer to heal than expected, says the People.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 20, has now been told he cannot start training again until mid-December, meaning no comeback is likely until well into 2014.
